By default all ports participate in spanning-tree, which is probably any delay you're seeing. You can setup host ports by explicitly setting them up as access ports and then turning on "spanning-tree portfast". That makes the ports come up almost immediately.

I've never had a problem with Intel (em/fxp) or Broadcom (bge/bce) using auto-neg on any Cisco switch made in the last 8-10 years.
